Move site to subdir | browser: to many redirects

René Kuenen · October 28, 2015

I'm moving my site to the subdir /shop.

I followed the normal procedure for moving a prestashop site:

Get into maintenance mode
Set off cache
Delete cache
Move files
Edit database PS_SHOP_URL to in2sound/shop

After this, when i go into back-office, there are no problems, but the front office gives me the to many redirects error in the browser.

These things i tried (no particular order en several times):

Turn off and on friendly url
Turn off ssl
Clear cookies in the browser
Type url: http | https | http://www | https://www | www.
regenerate and several changes in the .htacces file
Search the internet for this problem

When i searched the internet i found only problems and solutions when moving from subdir to root, not the other way around.

I think it has something to do with the .htacces file(s) in the root and/or subdirectory.

Prestshop version 1.6.0.14

Below the .htaccess files form subdir and root.

I hope someone can help me to resolve this problem.

Regards, René

htaccess file subdir /shop

Did you change the domain in back office SEO & URLs ?

Also you may need to regenerate your .htaccess, this will work for 5 and 6

Yes domain is changed thru the database. Just checked and are correct in backoffice SEO &URLs.

Regenerate .htaccess retried several times. No luck

Solved!!!

After moving my site to the subdir I changed.

Shop domain -> mysite/shop
SSL domain -> mysite/shop
Base URL -> /

I should be:

Shop domain -> mysite
SSL domain -> mysite
Base URL -> /shop
